One of my Brother's favorite records. I hope that he is found the Peace in Heaven that he couldn't find here on Earth. RIP. We will meet again. Believe that!
This is the album that turned me on to Roy Ayers courtesy of WJZZ in Detroit!! This is probably the most underrated album in music history.. Rick Lawson and Byron Miller (drums and bass) killed it on every single track!! This in my humble opinion is Roy’s best album..
UNITED KINGDOM's own DJ DEZ PARKES guided me in this beautiful direction. He (DJ DEZ) passed away , may in rest peaceful, was an extraordinary admirer if ROY AYERS. From the wearing of the t shirts, to paying homage via interviews and playing his music CONSISTENTLY. I'm grateful that I was able to learn & discover the art, beauty & greatest of both wonders🕊🌺💕
Man this song and album were very much underrated!!! This song was and still is very funky!!! Roy Ayers was just great at his artform!! In short he is the man! I got a chance in 1978 to see him at Woosley Hall on the Yale University Campus!! What a great show!! He brought it home that night!!!
My jam. This album was prolific. A year before "everyone Loves The Sunshine". Been sampled six ways from Sunday, but we were there when it hit and we ate this up.
@ Debra Williams The most precious gift of all. More than money, more than precious stones, life ( time ) is the one quantity, the only quantity once lost, can never be retrieved. So we mustn't waste a second of it !
I'm just now re-discovering some of Roy Ayers stuff. I was just a kid when alot of his music was originally release throughout the 70s, and we jammed hard to alot of funk music at family house parties/cookouts. I would like to know is Debbie (can't find the credits) also singing on Roy Ayers "Don't Stop The Feeling" from 1979 as well? If she did, I mean damn! She gave Chaka Khan a run for the money on that one! Funky as hell, love it!
I had this album growing up in Saginaw MI. at age 15. I also had it on 8-track in my 2nd car (age 16) a 1972 candy red\white interior,chrome spokes with 3 '' gangster whitewalls with a white t.v antenna,red leather steering wheel cover,front white license plate with greek letters painted red( I made everything) and I rigged a light under my bumper and turned it on at night. Did I mention jensen speakers. Life is just a moment now I have a big body Black coupe Benz sitting on 22's a maroon 2014 Jaguar xf and a white 2010 Ford F150 sitting on 26'' wheels,custom mesh grill in my drive way.I worked hard and I'm going to enjoy the fruits of my labor"LIFE IS JUST A MOMENT" you better enjoy it!
Man, that beat change at 2:30 is so great. Love the bassist in this song- they just let him/her do their thing. Anybody out there know a similar style bass playing track?
@@barbaraholman5355 Dude thanks so much I’d never heard of Dexter- just checked him out and that track Life on Mars is such an intense groove!!!!! Please who else grooves that hard? I love these forgotten jems. Headhunters of course- check out their live album Flood if you never have- that live track Hang up your hang ups is just too good.
Dj Paul trouble Anderson introduced me to this sublime music at a young age rest in peace king of the London underground scene 🙏
life is just a moment
I heard it in the 70's philadelphia. High school.. my favorite is this side of sunshine
